1. Information We Collect

When you use the ERPNext DocType Inspector, we may collect and process information necessary to facilitate the connection to your ERPNext instances. This includes ERPNext URLs, API Keys, and API Secrets which are required to fetch DocType metadata.

2. How We Use Your Information

The credentials you provide are used strictly for communicating with your designated ERPNext instance. We use this access solely to read DocType structures, retrieve fields, and generate TypeScript interfaces or API documentation on your behalf.

3. Data Storage & Caching

To improve performance and limit repeated requests to your ERPNext instance, we temporarily cache the structure of fetched DocTypes (such as fields, descriptions, and types) using a local cache mechanism with a short Time-To-Live (e.g., 20 minutes). We do not permanently store your API credentials or any sensitive business data from your ERPNext system.

4. Third-Party Services

Our tool allows you to deep-link DocType metadata directly into external AI assistants (such as Claude or ChatGPT). When you use these features, the generated schema and prompts are handed over to the respective AI platforms. Please refer to their respective Privacy Policies to understand how they process this data.

5. Security

We are committed to securing your data. We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your credentials during transmission. However, no internet-based service is 100% secure, and we advise against using production credentials if a test environment is available.
